David Delamare Art Appraisal

SNAKESTRIP Print by David Delamare

This item is a framed print titled 'SNAKESTRIP' by artist David Delamare. The artwork depicts a darkly lit, intricate urban scene, possibly a futuristic or fantastical cityscape, rendered with a high level of detail. The color palette primarily consists of muted tones of grays, greens, and browns, with subtle lighter areas suggesting artificial light sources illuminating specific architectural elements and foreground figures. The print exhibits fine lines and hatching, indicative of a detailed etching, engraving, or perhaps a giclée print of such a style. Notable features include numerous human figures engaged in various activities, industrial-looking structures, scaffolding, complex machinery, and what appears to be a large, snaking pipe or tunnel system dominating the left side of the composition. A streetlamp is visible in the lower right, casting a soft glow. The print is presented with a wide, off-white matting that provides a clean border around the artwork itself, separating it from the dark background of the surface it rests on. There is an informational card placed over the top right corner of the print, providing details about the artwork and artist, including the title 'SNAKESTRIP' and the artist's name 'David Delamare'. The print appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible tears, creases, or significant discoloration. Its overall construction suggests a high-quality art print, potentially a limited edition, given the detailed nature and accompanying information card. The style evokes a blend of steampunk, industrial realism, and fantasy, suggesting it was produced in the late 20th or early 21st century.
